The value of qualitative research
Abstract
This article describes the dual nature of nursing research. It describes how qualitative research can present the patient's experience in a way that quantitative research cannot, but warns against over-reliance on qualitative methods. The article critically summarises the ideas of the European philosophers on which qualitative research is based.
